Carob Bean Nibs Raw

Carob is a staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. The pods are naturally sweet and contain no caffeine, which makes carob a common alternative to cocoa and chocolate in the kitchen. It is offered here two ways: as raw nibs, and as ready ground carob powder. The raw nibs are broken pieces of the dried pod. They keep a firm bite and the natural sweetness of the pod, so they can be eaten as they are, scattered over porridge and yogurt, or simmered into syrups and drinks before straining. The powder is the same carob, toasted and ground fine. It is used as a replacement in many recipes for more expensive and caffeinated cocoa powder, so it measures straight into cakes, brownies, biscuits, hot drinks, and smoothies. Try it for yourself in your home baking. If you are looking for a traditional recipe to make the most of your carob, we recommend finding one for the Maltese sweet called karamelli tal-harrub, or carob caramel. Nibs and powder both suit it, with the nibs giving texture and the powder giving a smooth, even colour. 100% natural. We search around the world for the finest produce.
